Yea it's pretty, but is it TMCC or PS2? Also with stock pilot truck, it has to be limited to 0-72. Shame, nice engine, but limited marketing appeal. LOL[;)] Bill

The hobby is full of 072 minimum radius engines. as for the command system, The obvious choice is and always will be TMCC so that you don't further limit the potential market. But if MTH makes it, it may very well boost DCS system sales in the Virginia area.

Too bad Northern Class Engines are scarce in the Hobby... in O or HO.
